Hezbollah says it struck Syria militants with help of drone

Lebanon’s Hezbollah group says it has struck a group of al-Qaeda militants near the border with Syria with the help of a drone for the first time. The Shiite group’s Al-Manar satellite television channel said the “qualitative operation” was carried out Wednesday against a group of Nusra Front militants in Syria’s Qalamoun region. The group has been fighting alongside Syrian government forces in the region to dislodge Sunni extremists entrenched there.
